slat all over the table and walls and bloody bullet on the table everyone too scared to move Marcus quickly raises his head to see who the blood belongs to and with horror he sees Caesar's head fall on the food he was just recently eating noo Caesar Vicky says while sobbing uncontrollably while the room became chaotic,everyone was screaming Marcus was just frozen in place holding the bloody chicken he wanted to eat just before Caesar's death.
Caesar nooo Marcus wakes up from sleep in a heavy sweat he takes the room
temperature water by his bed side table and switches the lantern on his bed side table and stands up to go to the toilet to rinse his face and when the cold water touches his face he feels like a heavy wait was just removed from him and as he looked in the mirror he tells him self that's the third time in a row this month his dreaming about that night it's been a year now and he still can't forget about it.Marcus goes back to the room and seats on his work desk to study since exam was just around the corner.
The next day after classes Marcus went to his therapist to talk about the traumatic accident he has been dreaming about."after that night what happened?"the therapist asked Marcus "well the police and ambulance were called but there was no one hurt only dead and that was Caesar"Marcus and the therapist talked for an hour then Marcus left, he walked to his apartment and sighed before entering through the door way,he dropped his keys and looked at a picture of Caesar he had on the fridge.
"Hello?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"No time but I need to tell you that the accident that happened a year ago was not an accident"a man said in distress and he would have said more if he wasn't interrupted by a BOOM a gunshot was heard from the phone before silence
"Hello?,hello? Is this a prank and how do you know about Caesar"
No answer,but Marcus was shaking and crying almost uncontrollably as the words of the caller sank in
"No,no,no,no,it couldn't have been planed but, who did it?"
He went to sleep late that night and in the morning he felt traumatized all over again and he could remember one year ago he was admitted to a hospital because he had developed PTSD and hated loud noises so he took his phone and put on soothing sounds to hear.
Later that day he decided to make a daring move by calling Victoria and just before he dialed her phone number,memory's flushed in on the day of Caesars funeral and how she was said she wanted nothing to do with him since it was his seat that Caesar died that night and it should have been him it took him a while but then he called her
Meanwhile ever since her brother died she decided to go back to her dad in Russia since he was now the only family she had,Victoria didn't like the way she ended things with Marcus but she couldn't think about him now because she had an itch that Caesars death was planned but the problem was by who.Victoria's dad ordered the mafia for eight troops three each all the best at what they do to look for who killed his son. And after six months only one person came out of all twenty-four and even he was heavily injured,he only had two fingers on the left hand,and the other hand was cut of,while he had dried blood all over him looking like he was being tortured for a while "kill him" Victoria's father says "wait!" Victoria screams"they must be a reasonable answer for why they didn't kill him""y..yes the..there is" the tortured man quickly speaks at the opportunity he gets to defend himself "the..they were about to kill me after torturing me and making me watch all the men you sent out die "the man continued before being rudely interrupted by Victoria's dad "wait how were you caught!!"Victoria's dad screams "you are supposed to be the best of the best""dad let him speak"Victoria interrupts him "don't you ever interrupt me while I speak do you understand" emotional and embarrassed Victoria response "yes father I understand" as her father continued screaming at the poor man she felt useless because all she could do was stand there behind him by his right side and look down.
After a while her dad got tired of the screaming and said he has one day to say good bye to his family and friends before his execution"oh and if you try to run away we will find you and make you watch everyone you know die a horrible death before yours"Victoria was surprised at the comments her dad said byyet despite her fathers cold attitudes deep down she knew he was a good man and could change that's why she returned and plus since her brother was dead she needed protection before the same people or person that killed her brother and all twenty three men could come for her before her father could dismiss the poor man he asked him why they let him go shakily the man said that they said you should stop looking for them or the will kill your daughter and then come for you sir.
